An absolute impossibility.
All the life forms on earth could not even have been collected.
The logistics of collecting two of every insect alone is mind boggling.
And by the way - 'goddidit' is not how it happened or rather did not happen.

Given the dimensions of the ark and the number of land animal species (around 4000), it seems that there may have been about enough room. However, my calculations had no way of predicting the amount of food needed for 140+ days, or special diets for creatures like Kolas that will not eat the same variety of tree leaves two days in a row.
The species count seems low, and the needed space was calculated on an average for each species, and didn't take into account internal supports or flooring.
So it may have been possible, but on the other hand there is no evidence of a global flood, and there are many other serious flaws in the story i.e. 600 years old with only 3 sons, no daughters or grandchildren; not to mention the problems with the rainbow.

I think the actual measurements can be found somewhere on the internet and then just hit up some national geographic type sites and check out just how many animals there are in all the world, and you'll see it's not possible.
Also remember that some are now extinct.

Actually just the unclean ones were in pairs, the rest were seven pairs. Or else when Noah made a sacrefice the species would be doomed.
I guess he had a really big boat, and the dinosuars missed it.

Read the Scriptures carefully: It doesn't say ALL the animals. It gives a list of CLEAN animals, and YES, they COULD fit into an ark.

Since the events of the flood were performed through acts of science by God, as time goes by modern science will prove that these stories are true and are not fairy-tales made up by creative Jewish scribes.

Thats NOT the part thats hardest to believe. The hardest part to belive is that Noah was OVER 600 YEARS OLD when he built it.

There were Tyrannosaurus rexes on board that had the job of population control

I dont believe. The smell from the poop alone would knock out everybody on board.
